The Brockville Rowing Club took 18 rowers to this year’s summer ERA Championship regatta in Montreal. The event took place at the Olympic Basin and was hosted by the Montreal Rowing Club/Club d’aviron de Montreal.
Rowers, coaches and parents battled through hot and humid temperatures, and then a final wind and rain storm on Sunday which resulted in the cancellation of the afternoon races.

Notable finishes:
- U19 Men’s Double – 3rd Place (Liam McAllister and Ben Dewal)
- U17 Women’s Double – 5th Place (Rose Lafrance, Serena Bryan)
- U17 Men’s Double – 3rd Place (Rowan Jacobs, Sean Currie)
